Daily walker/sitter with weekly regulars on and off Rover. 35, responsible, and love animals! Grew up with a Shar-Pei and now share my bed with three rescues: a timid Dachshund, a derpy Sheprador whose body is much older than his mind, and a sassy Chihuahua who’s convinced she’s my shadow. My Doxie would tell you that I'm incredibly patient, trustworthy and loving. He'd say that I'm great with timid dogs and that I have a knack for coaxing them out of their shells. My Sheprador would tell you that I'm super fun and playful and that I give good belly rubs. He'd say that I'm great with high-energy dogs that love playing fetch or going for longer walks. Of course, now that he’s almost 14 he’d also say that I’m very accommodating when it comes to picky eaters, pups who needs mobility support, and those struggling with bladder and/or bowel incontinence. As for my Chihuahua, she’d probably say that I’m a great snuggler and that I accept all pups and people for whoever they are (even if they are a dog named Bird who makes pig sounds all the time). And all three would be right. As a trained life coach, I approach dogs the way I approach humans: with curiosity and the desire to understand their individual wants and needs. Whether it's cuddles on the couch or a brain-stimulating training session, my goal is to make sure your pup gets what he or she needs in order to feel loved and cared for. Your dog isn't just another dog to me, and I won't be just another sitter :) Bonus: I’ve been working from home since before it was mandatory and have a very flexible schedule. My pups thoroughly appreciate this and I bet yours will too! Things you can expect from me: *Clear communication and punctuality *That I won’t cancel at the last minute unless I’m seriously ill or injured or something legitimately serious has occurred. *That if I feel sick, you’ll be made aware so that you can decide whether you’d rather have someone else come by instead. *That any pet messes that might occur before I arrive will be promptly cleaned up. (Because accidents happen and I don’t mind saving you the hassle). *That lockbox combinations will be mixed back up as soon as a key is retrieved and again once it’s returned. *That if something out of the ordinary happens while I’m there—like, say, a bird flies into your home through an open window—that I’ll immediately inform you and, to the best of my ability, handle it. (True story and the bird was safely escorted back outside). *That unless you’ve given me permission to do so, I won’t let other people or dogs approach your pup on our walks. *That any personal preferences and requests discussed upon booking or during our meet and greet will be met (ex. puppy paws wiped after walks, booties worn, other people/dogs not be allowed to approach us, etc).
